My church is worldly. We have people come to church in their dirty work clothes, in flip flops, pants, short hair, jewelry and!!! we even have drunks, people that are high on who knows what and women who are not wearing dresses or skirts!

I agree Brad. Some of us 'old folk' have learned what our righteousness is. Some of us old folk remember the list of rules, smile at some of them and are glad there was a change (in our denomination).

The NIV uses 'tolerance' here where Christ corrects a church for being tolerant of false teaching.Revelation 220 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.t and proud.Tolerance can be a bad thing in certain contexts
